-   -   Don't FMQ with a full bobbin? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/dont-fmq-full-bobbin-t104848.html)

What I FMQ? I know Q is quilting .

I've never heard of this either. I fill about 5 bobbins to the brim before I start and I don't seem to have any problems with it....unless....I haven't wound it properly :roll:

Those are the days "I'm not FMQ'ing with a full bobbin"..LOL...love the phrasing!

I have never heard this but I tend to not fill my bobbins to capacity anyway.

I'll chime in with the others who may not be playing with a full deck but certainly a full bobbin. Well, at least for a few minutes. FMQ sure goes through the thread!

I have never had a problem with a full bobbin when doing FMQ. Maybe her machine over fills the bobbin and would create a problem by not letting the thread flow off freely. Other than that, I'm sorry, but don't understand her way of thinking. I want a full bobbin because one has to refill often anyway without starting with a bobbin 3/4's full.

I use the prewound bobbins from Superior and they are always full! They seem to last forever. When I start a new quilt I change to a full bobbin!

I've had problems a few times if my bobbin is "over filled" -- causing a few knots and nests. Maybe this was her problem.

Me too !!! I had to fill it 3 times yesterday and I never function with a full bobbin. LOL
